Two weeks later and I still have no car, but they did make sure they secured payment from my bank.
Apparently they were not aware that they could not sell a car without actually owning it or having a title.

Full record text

Tasca is not a friend of veterans. I used the USAA car buying service to purchase what was supposed to be my new family car. Two weeks later and I still have no car, but they did make sure they secured payment from my bank. Apparently they were not aware that they could not sell a car without actually owning it or having a title. After several complaints, the sales guy David DelPonte, promised to deliver the car to my home tonight. You probably know where this is going, no call and no show. I don't have a car and they have my money. I have reported the dealership to my bank with a request that they pursue them for wire fraud. In addition, I will be filing a complaint with the Rhode Island attorney generals office and BBB. Unfortunately I am probably going to have to retain an attorney. Maybe you will have better luck with this dealer, I however would stay away. If the deals seem too good to be true.....
